Pork and Kraut

Ingredients

• 1-3 lb boneless pork chop or country-style pork ribs or lean pork loin
• 36 ounces beer
• 5 tablespoons salad oil
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 48 ounces sauerkraut
• 5 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 5 potatoes
• 4 ears corn

Directions

1. 1

   Cut the pork into small pieces,an inch by an inch or so, your choice on size. Ribs in 2 bone sections.

2. 2

   In a large heavy pan or dutch oven, heat a few tbsp of salad oil and brown the pork well in small batches. Remove when browned. Pour off excess liquid.

3. 3

   Return the browned pork to the pan. Add 3 cans of beer, 1/2 tsp of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in drained sauerkraut, add 4 to 5 heaping tablespoons of dark brown sugar. Add 1/2 tsp of salt and stir. Place the cut potatoes in the bottom, sinking them under the juices. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

5. 5

   This is the time to add cooked mini-ears of corn, drizzle with the juices and cover and simmer for another 15 minutes. Sometimes I do not use the corn (your choice.) The cooked corn goes well as a side.

6. 6

   The amount of pork you use determines the amount of kraut and potatoes you should use, I like lots of pork, and like lots of kraut. Nothing worse than everyone loving it, and not having enough pork, or kraut.
